Contemplation Space

Maleny, Sunshine Coast

This project is a perfect example of what can be achieved when the client and their landscaper develop a relationship built on trust. Having recently undertaken a major home renovation, the clients had a very clear idea of what they wanted to achieve for the rear courtyard makeover, presenting us with a sketch plan of their dream landscape.

The brief outlined general requirements, such as achieving a feeling of intimacy within the courtyard while not losing site of the commanding view. The client also specified important details such as a formal, paved area which would include a rill, water fountain, and somehow incorporate a feature bowl they owned.

As Tohm could see that the initial layout would not achieve the client’s desired outcomes, he redesigned their original concept in consultation with them to deliver an outdoor room that has realised the clients’ dream.
